shoes. In the kitchen were a common cook
stove, an extension table, four chairs, look
ing glass and several utensils. There were
four dishes in the pantry and these were dusty
as if not in use for some time. The most of
them were of tin, crockery being scarce.
The Journal man also found tucked in the
door letter addressed to c. F. Stains, Esq +,
Augusta, Me. The envelope bore the stamp
ST the Sherman House, Boston, and was post
marked Oct. 10.
Having completed the survey of the prem
ises the Journal man next hunted up the
creditors. Chas. NJ. Sturgs, furniture, was
the principal creditor, his bill amounting to
500. Chas. Il. Wells, furniture. came next
IN order, having given credit to the extent of
$50; J. H. Cogan & Co., stoves, SIS; X. w.
Soule, commission merchant and auctioneer,
Sl4, and A. P. Gould & Co., stoves, $40 f.
Stone & Co. was also out one ton of coal
Soon after 5 o'clock Messrs. Sturgis and Co.
gan sent teams to the house for their prop
erty, they and also Mr.. Wells having bills of
sale.
E. w. Whitehouse, who owns the tenement
where Stain lived, on being interviewed, said
that he had known of Stains plans and had
advanced him money to perfect them that he
had done so although Stain owed him house
rent; that he was Stains attorney aud was
IT tained to give him legal advice and would
assist him in the future. Mr.. Whitehouse
also said that there were three sources from
which Stain was to secure money for his in-
formation, only one Of which he disclosed to
the journal msn-that being from the news
papers. He said that Stain was doing this
for money alone, and that he believed he
would get it.
1t was very evident that Mr.. Whitehouse
had information of Stains present where
sbouts and could have told the scribe much,
had he been willing to. But as he occupied
the position of attorney to Stain, would not
say any too much about his client.

A SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER.
How a Corinna Landlord Entertained n
Young Man from Augusta.

An amusing story in connection with the
recent rush to Dexter, is told of one of Au-
gusta's rising young lawyers. lie started
with the crowd for Dexter but receiving
dispatch from Bangor to go there on business
stopped of at Cornna, intending to secure a
team and drive across the country. One of
the deputy sherihs of Penobscot county keeps
hotel there and bargain was soon struck
for him to drive the Augusta man through to
Bangor. As they were preparing to start,
however, the landlords face assumed du-
bious look and he suddenly turned and in
quired anxiously "See here, how do know
but what your one of these robbers that came
down on the train"
The Augusta man protested his innocence
of such a vocation and even went so far as to
give the cautious landlord a history of HIM
self, but it was no GO; the man absolutely
refused to carry him.
During the conversation quite a crowd had
collected and finally in despair the Augusta
man appealed to the bystanders and asked if
there was any one present who dared to drive
him over to Bangor. man IN the crowd
very brave man, who wasn't at all fright
ened by the suspicious looks of the Augusta
man, said he would do it if the landlord would
let him take his team, but that functionary
absolutely refused to trust his horse in such
company.
Finally, the man who had volunteered to
do the driving, got his own team, which had
already seen long drive that day, and start
ed away with the Augusta man amid the du-
bious looks of the bystan1ers who gazed af-
ter him as if they never expected to see
him again.
The Augusta man thinks he would rather
90 among the heather than to trust himself
again to the hospitalities of that town.

1t was reported here yesterday that young
Stain was committed to Auburn Jail for horse
stealing and was tried at the April, 1873,
term of court in Audroscoggin county, and
sentenced to State Prison, and that at the
time of the Dexter bank robbery he was in
Auburn Jail awaiting trial.
In order to ascertain the facts in the case,
telegram was sent to Col. Thos. Littlefeld,
who had charge of the Auburn Jail in 1873,
and who replied as follows;

MORE ABOUT STAIN.
The journal Man Interviews Stains
Creditors-E. w. WhitehOuse, His At.
tOrney, Gives Some Points.

The Journal man, learning that it was the
purpose of the furniture dealers of the city
who supplied young Stain with his household
goods to take away their several properties,
stated late yesterday afternoon for Stains
home in order to take another view of the
rooms and give them a more careful inspec-
ton. Arriving there in advance of the cred
itors he took thorough inventory of the
furniture and also general survey of the
premises. The tenement consists of four
rooms on the first floor, arranged as follows
Parlor, sitting room and kitchen in line, con-
nected, with bed room opening off the sit
ting room, and two sleeping rooms in the attic.
The parlor was used by Stain and his family
as bed room and contained a cheap painted
chamber set. This was the room last occu-
pied and was in a state of high confusion.
The bed was as they left it, void of sheets
and pillow cases. The mattress was covered
with "store" quilt which was terribly soiled,
in fact filthy. there was also a comforter
lying on the foot of the bed. The furniture
was scattered about the room, a wicker baby
carriage, containing cover and parasol, stand
ing in the center of the room. Upon the bu-
reau were a candy box, one or two hair pins,
postal card from J. II. Cogan & Co. The
windows were curtained with drab Hollands.
The walls were bare. The Journal man
passed into the sitting room. This room was
carpeted with straw mating and contained a
stove, lounge, easy rocker, common rocker,
cradle, stand and clock. Upon the mantle
was plant and feather duster; over it was
small mirror. There were one or two
cheap chrome cuts upon the wall. The win.
dows were curtsined like those in the frs,
room. 1t was the most comfortable room OF
all. In the bed room off the sitting room,
were a bedstead, upon which was mattress
and coverlets, but no sheets or pillow cases
also chair or two. The room was uncar.
peted and uncomfortable. The closet ad-
joining contained a pile Of rags, some paste
board boxes, pair of pants and several old

come of it.

Especial to the Kennebec Journal.
DEXTER, Oct. Is.
1t is reported that John Harvey of Massa-
chusetts, former member of the Stain gang,
has agreed to tell the whole story regarding
them if he can feel assured of their convic.
ton. He says that he will do this because
Stain poisoned his sister and that he cannot
forget or forgive this crime. 1t is thought
that Harvey's sister must have been one of
Stains wives. Harvey states that he was
not with the gang on their trip to Dexter but
that in planning another robbery
he heard Stain and Cromwell
talking about it, and that they
told all about the Winthrop, Dexter bank,
and Dexter Express robberies and just how
they planned and carried them out. 1t has
been discovered that young Stain has been
lost track of. Goddard of the World evil
denty fears he is in the hands of Boston re-
porters who will pump him dry and learn all
the facts about Harvey and it is understood
that he will telegraph the whole story to New
York tonight.
These latest developments throw more light
upon the bank robbery, for if our informa-
ton is correct and we believe it is, Stain and
Cromwell are two of gang that made sever
al robbing expeditions into Maine in ls77-78,
taking the same general direction each time
to get out of Maine with the plunder. In
Nov. 1877, they visited Dexter with the in
tention of robbing the Savings Bank, but
gave it up after effecting an entrance to the
bank. and seeing a new safe standing beside
the old one.
From there they went to Winthrop and
made successful raid on the bank there.
They made another raid into Name again In
the following January, again making Dexter
the objective point. On the 4th of January
1873, the American Express Office was brok.
en- into, the safe opened by means of a false
key and $4,000 taken therefrom. 1t has al
ways been believed that Andrews, Kelly
Thompson were concerned in that affair, az
the knowledge the robbers evidently pos
sessed, required an accomplce on the spot.

considerable portion of the morning ses-
sion OF the Knights of Labor was occupied in
discussing the proposition to strike out that
portion of the constitution which gives the
general executive board power to submit a
constitutional amendment to the local assem-
blies any time and declare it adopted on a
majority vote. 1t was met by an amendment
that the executive board be without power to
act until asked by five district assemblies. The
amendment prevailed. Adverse reports on
the following propositions were made by the
committee on law and the reports concurred
in: To add general auditor to the official
staff of the order; to reduce the general men,
bership of the general executive board to 3;
TO establish State bureaus for the supplies of
instruction.
An amendment to the constitution author
izine the establishing of trade councils in
local assemblies was rejected on the ground
that the assemblies already have all the pow
er in TIL direction consistent with discipline,
while the rule giving permission to the dis
trict on national trade councils to regulate
the time of the delivery of charters to newly
organized local assemblies was passed.
